Electric blower install

Interesting I was going to install the e ram on my 04 rx1 quite a few years ago. Their website had stated the e-ram made 1 to 2 psi of air pressure when it arrived I hooked it up directly to a fully charged good battery sealed of the one end of it to a very fine 1 to 10 lb gauge and it hardly made the needle move off its rest. I then gave up on the project and sent it back to them seeing as the unit could not do what they said it could.
 
Sorry nothing yet...we have had a ton of snow so I have been putting a bunch of miles on! I also think I need to fabricate an intake box possibly out of plywood and fiberglass. I know a tad red neck but all experimentation's :o). BTW -37C here this am ...-45C with wind chills!

Save your money.

I found that video quite entertaining... For the humor.
I kind of figured those chargers were a gimic.
Now if they were able to mount the turbo in the video to that car and make it work.... That would be hilarious!

If it were me with this plywood fathom. I would ditch the idea after watching this video and go a different route but I have to think that with it only being turned on at full throttle, you are going to restrict your air significatly while not at WOT and your low range is going to suffer dramatically (which I think is used more that WOT anyway).
Your call and good luck but I think your trying to sail a boat with no mast.
 
Sellery, I have been looking hard at the same unit, can you keep us posted? I was thinking of somehow plumbing it in with a 2" hose from the bottom of the air box on my Nytro fx. If I make a new hole for the air entrance then I don't see how it will restrict air on the low end. I wonder if the guys on the video sell super chargers?
 
I guess I will have to try it and if it works great if not than it will save a bunch of curious what ifers some money. aybe this weekend. sledneck22, air flow wont be restricted as it flows naturally around the blades. fasteddie, you will have to plug existing intakes in order to build pressure. standby all, I will try and take photos as I go.
 
Well I finally had a chance to try this electric blower out. I made a plywood box sealed pretty good, and fixed the blower to the front with filter. I put the switch on left handle bar for WOT engagement. I tried her out and was quite dissapointed!!!!! Basically no noticeable difference in pull, rpm never changed etc. If anything it might breath better and may work in a long pull. I am still experimenting and will let you know if any improvement. Now we know at least and can save others the time and $!
If I can figure out how to post pics I will
 
electric blower :o(
